The script, that you included, seems to search for a couple of browser
processes to limit their usage of CPU resources.

I do not think, this would be such a great idea.

In order to avoid, that a browser changes your system in any way, you
could do, what i do:

I did locate the places, the browser uses (not just as cache, but also
for storing defaults, history, and such). Then i use a tmpfs to create
an overlay filesystem and allow the browser to change those filesystems
only temporarily.
works as intended, but created problems, if you WANT to change something
(like f.i. download a file).

But this method is a bit difficult to implement for someone, who is
incomfortable with commandline and scripts.
